Queen Liliuokalani died on this day 107 years ago, aged 79. - Liliuokalani was raised as a Protestant and was given the English name Lydia. She would be named the heir apparent to the Hawaiian throne in 1877, and would serve as regent when king Kalakaua was away on foreign trips. Among the events that occurred during her regencies were a smallpox epidemic in 1881 that she tried to minimize. - Liliuokalani would become queen herself after Kalakaua's death in 1891. In 1893, she would propose a new constitution for the kingdom which would restore monarchial powers and give more voting rights to native Hawaiians- resulting in riots from foreign American residents, who quickly ousted Liliuokalani and ending the monarchy. Hawaii would be annexed by the US in 1898 (and given statehood in 1959). - Following an 1895 attempt to restore the monarchy by her supporters, Liliuokalani would be placed under arrest but was freed and pardoned a year later. In 1909, she would attempt to sue the US government for her land back (citing the Fifth Amendment), but was denied as the Supreme Court did not view Hawaii as private property. - Liliuokalani was also well-known for being a songwriter, with her most famous work being 1878's "Aloha 'Oe": - Liliuokalani's last months saw her lose the use of her legs and being unable to remember her house, believed to have been complications that arose following a stroke.

Leonard Cohen died on this day 8 years ago, aged 82. - Cohen would start off as a poet and novelist, to little success. He would turn to songwriting for income, moving to the US from his native Canada in 1967 and having his first hit writing Judy Collins' "Suzanne". - Cohen was soon signed to Columbia Records as a folk singer, and he would become much more well-known after several of his songs were featured in the 1971 film McCabe & Mrs. Miller. It was not until 1984 that Cohen made his signature, most famous song- "Hallelujah": Initially having limited airplay, a 1991 cover by John Cale would make it a more famous song, with almost 200 other artists covering it since- ranging from Rufus Wainwright to Alexandra Burke to Jeff Buckley. - During the '90s and 2000s, Cohen's songs continued to get exposure from being used in film, notably in Pump Up the Volume, Natural Born Killers, and (especially) Shrek. - Cohen died from a fall at home; he also had leukemia at the time of his death.

Clive Dunn died on this day 12 years ago, aged 92. - Dunn's actual first name was Robert, and he adopted 'Clive' as a stage name in his 20s. He was a cousin of actress (and DeathList alumnus) Gretchen Franklin. - Dunn's main acting schtick was that he would portray characters much older than he actually was- and when he was given the role of Lance Corporal Jones in Dad's Army, he was younger than some of his castmates (i.e. John Le Mesurier and Arthur Lowe). His catchphrase of "Don't panic, don't panic" would make its way into the British vernacular zeitgeist. - In 1971, Dunn released the novelty song "Grandad", which topped the UK Singles chart: This would lead to him getting a show of the same name, which ran from 1979 to 1984- this song also served as its theme. - In 1987, Dunn made history by debuting atop the first DeathList, and would go on to make 16 appearances between then and 2012- a record until surpassed by Kirk Douglas' 17th appearance in 2019. He's also been immortalized by this emoji you'll see when you post something someone else recently said in the same thread that you failed to spot-
